A Dragonslayer’s Peerless Regression – 179



Episode 179

Sharp protrusions on the iron balls flew towards Zigg spinning fiercely.

Kwakwakwakwa!

As Zeke was about to raise his sword again and unleash a field of water power the ground beneath his feet began to shake.

Kookookookook!

As the ground split open Zig lost his balance and his body swayed.

The iron balls that Zion threw quickly flew towards Zeke.

Kwakwakwakwakwang!

The iron balls collided with each other and exploded centered around Zig.

Pavabababak!

Sharp fragments of the shattered iron sphere flew in all directions and embedded themselves in the walls of the surrounding buildings. Holes were ripped through the solid stone walls.

Zion gasped as he looked at the rising dust cloud.

“Hoo. You cheeky brat. Where did you come from to dare attack this Sion?”

Zion looked visibly exhausted perhaps because he had exerted too much force at once.

Zion took a deep breath and slowly approached the carriage.

Then he raised his palm and levitated the carriage into the air.

A bitter smile appeared on his face.

“I can’t kill that traitor so easily.”

He tossed the carriage back and forth leaving it floating in the air.

Kookung! Kung!

The carriage shook and there was a loud noise from inside.

Zion laughed holding his stomach as if he found it funny.

“Hahahaha! You little Dario! I hated how you were always acting cocky and arrogant even though you were a pervert. You’re so cool you’re so cool!”

He stopped talking after laughing so hard that he slowly clenched his fists.

At the same time the custom-made transport wagon began to gradually warp.

Zion frowned at the carriage being sturdier than expected.

“How dare you talk about carriages!”

As he pushed harder the carriage buckled at a faster rate.

It was when Zion was concentrating his attention on the carriage.

Suddenly something flew towards him.

Shush!

An arrow flew toward Zion.

puck!

Zion who was focusing all his attention on the carriage was unable to dodge the arrow and ended up getting hit in the shoulder.

“Ugh!”

When Zion’s concentration was broken after being hit by an arrow the carriage floating in the air fell to the ground instead of collapsing.

Zion pulled out the arrow embedded in his shoulder and shouted with bloodshot eyes.

“Damn it! How dare you hurt me!”

At the same time several more arrows flew towards Zion from inside the building.

Zion stretched out his hand toward the flying arrow.

Kwakwakwakwa!

At the gesture of his hand the flying arrow stopped in midair.

Then a chain burst out from under Zion’s feet.

Clang!

The protruding chain wrapped itself around Zion’s ankle.

“profit!”

Zion tried to break the chains and retreat but it was no use.

The ground shook with him and this time Zig popped out.

Zeke used his lightning skill again towards Zion.

Pfft pfft pfft!

A powerful lightning bolt struck Zion’s body through the chain.

“Kkaaaak!”

Zion who was struck by lightning straight away fell to the ground foaming at the mouth.

Zig who was standing properly on the ground pulled the chain and checked Zion’s condition.

‘He’s not dead yet.’

Zeke thought it would be difficult to settle the matter by confronting Zion head-on so he hid under the cracked ground avoided the explosion of the iron ball and summoned the Dragon Tooth Soldier to divert Zion’s attention and create an opening.

Zeke captured Zion with his soul sealing technique and injected him with Hydra’s venom paralyzing him.

The plan was to capture him and then slowly interrogate him.

Zik who had completely subdued Zion slowly walked towards the carriage.

He grabbed the warped carriage with the power of Zion and used his golden power to tear the door open with his hands.

Inside the carriage there was a safety cage installed to protect Dario.

As Zeke was about to open the cage and take Dario out he noticed something strange.

‘Are we open?’

Kkwadduk!

In an instant the ground split open again and the entire carriage sank underground.

Zeke quickly stepped on the wall of the carriage and got out.

Phew!

Zig who had floated on the wind field climbed up the cracked ground and rose to the ground.

The custom-made carriage fell to the ground completely crushed.

As Zeke rose above the ground he discovered someone standing behind Zion who was bound in chains.

Inyoung wearing a skull mask on her face and black clothes with unusually long arms.

He must have been the one who had the ability to manipulate the land all along.

Kkwaduk!

The skull mask was trying to break the chains that bound Zion’s body.

However the chains bound by the soul sealing technique would never be released until Zeke retrieved them.

When the skeleton mask failed to break free from its chains it raised its long arms and tried to strike Zion’s head.

Zeke quickly pulled out his dagger and threw it at the skull mask.

The dagger filled with the will of the blast hit the skull mask.

Kwakwakwakwang!

The skull mask stopped moving as the dagger exploded.

Zeke used the gap to pull the chain and pull Zion towards his body.

Then in the explosion the skull mask glowed with red eyes.

Then the skeleton mask’s body slowly turned into sand and disappeared into the ground.

Zeke swung his sword towards where the skull mask had disappeared but there was no trace of him only a dent in the ground.

Zeke eventually gave up on finding the skull mask and checked on Zion who was unconscious and chained up.

Fortunately he was still breathing.

But at that moment of relief something rolled towards Zeke.

Zeke checked the object that had stopped in front of his feet.

It was none other than Dario’s severed head.

* * *

A large crowd gathered in the courtroom of the Draker Court located in the Four Seasons Atumfell.

All the real powers that control the Drakers including the Silver Knight Kali Draker and the Scarred Knight Gareth Draker the leader of the Black Wolves and former Black Knight Duke Draker were present.

The reason they gathered was to hear the testimony of Nostra Family executives and pass judgment on their crimes.

And the person who filed this lawsuit was none other than Carly Draker.

She added weight to the ruling by applying for Duke Draker and Gareth Draker as sureties.

But then a problem arose.

A Nostra Family official who was scheduled to testify did not show up even after the scheduled time.

As time passed and the people present in the courtroom began to murmur the judge opened his mouth.

“This is a sacred courtroom. Everyone please be quiet.”

The judge turned his head and looked at Carly Draker.

Carly Draker’s expression hardened and she shook her head.

William Siemens who attended the trial as an observer smiled in satisfaction as he watched the expressions on the faces of Carly Draker and the judge.

This was because I had just received news from the Nostra Family that Dario’s dealings had been completed.

‘That’s great. I was able to strike a blow against Kali’s unexpected side.’

If Dario had appeared as a witness and testified about the crimes of the Nostra Family it would have been a credit to Cali who had filed for trial but if he had not succeeded it could have backfired.

Currently Carly and Abel are engaged in an invisible competition for the right to succeed to the throne.

One very small mistake could lead to a big fire.

In particular the Prana family Kali’s maternal and sponsoring family did not have much influence unlike the Siemens who supported Abel.

That is Kali could lose all the achievements she had accumulated so far with just a small mistake.

William Siemens who saw that Carly’s expression was gradually hardening slowly got up from his seat.

It was clear that Kali as well as Zeke would fail their mission and suffer a blow from this incident.

At that moment the judge opened his mouth as if he could no longer wait.

“The trial is adjourned as the witness did not attend.”

He was about to pick up the gavel and end the trial here.

bang!

The door opened and someone came into the courtroom.

William Siemens was shocked as he was leaving the courtroom.

‘That’s…?’

To their surprise it was Zeke Draker dressed in Draker uniform entering the courtroom leading someone with his face covered.

Zeke stood before the judge and greeted him politely.

“Your Honor I apologize for being late. I have brought in a witness.”

He had the man he brought sit on the witness stand.

Then he took off the cloth bag that covered his face.

The man sitting on the witness stand was haggard but clearly Dario Totlino.

William Siemens was startled when he saw Dario’s face.

“That’s ridiculous!”

At William’s shout the people sitting in the courtroom looked at him.

Zeke also turned his head and spoke to William.

“Sir William is there something wrong?”

William quickly collected his emotions and sat down with a calm expression.

Then he said in a calm voice.

“It’s nothing.”

Zeke turned his head again and spoke to the judge.

“We call on Dario Totlino a native of the Empire to be a witness in the Nostra Family organized crime.”

The judge looked at Carly Draker and she nodded.

The judge granted Zeke’s request.

“Dario Totlino. Testify.”

Dario stood on the witness stand and slowly opened his mouth.

“My name is known as Dario Totlino but that is not true. My real name is Dario Nostra. I am one of the bosses of the Nostra family.”

As soon as Dario’s testimony began the crowd began to murmur.

Dario Totlino the steel magnate of the empire was known to have been kidnapped from Heli in an attack by unidentified monsters.

But then he suddenly appeared revealed himself to be a member of the Nostra family a mafia and offered to testify about the organization’s crimes.

“Dario Totlino is from the Nostra family?”

“Wow I can’t believe it.”

Among the commotion among the onlookers William raised his hand and stood up from his seat.

He said to Dario.

“Can you prove that you are the real Dario Totlino? Dario Totlino is currently being kidnapped by a group of thugs. Why would you suddenly show up at the Draker Tribunal to testify? I don’t quite understand.”

The other observers also nodded at William’s words.

Then Carly Draker stood up and looked at the judge and said

“Your Honor please allow the witness Dario Totlino to testify that he is who he says he is.”

The court nodded.

Kali approached Dario holding something.

She asked Dario.

“Dario Totlino. Are you really Dario Totlino?”

“exactly.”

“Can you swear that there is not an inch of falsehood in that statement?”

“I swear.”

Then Carly nodded and showed the jury the crystal she was holding.

“Gentlemen of the jury what I am holding is an iris data storage device. As you know when outsiders enter the Four Seasons they must use this iris recognition device to verify their identity. When I checked the records I found that Dario Totlino had previously been invited to the Four Seasons and entered the building. This is Dario Totlino’s record.”

At Carly’s words William stood up and asked.

“How can you be sure that the witness is Dario Totlino just by using an iris recognition device?”

Then Carly Draker looked at William with a surprised expression and said.

“That’s interesting. I understand that the Siemens family is the one who installed and manages this iris recognition device in the Four Seasons. Does that mean that Sir William doesn’t trust the recognition device managed by Siemens?”

William made a face of disappointment at Carly’s words.

If he had been more stubborn the trust in his family could have been broken.

He opened his mouth forcing himself to control his expression.

“I was just trying to convey my thoughts that it would be better to proceed with things for sure.”

As William sat down she spoke to the courtroom again.

“We will compare this iris information with the witness’s iris through the family wizards.”

Then the waiting wizards entered the courtroom with iris recognition devices.

They held the recognition device up to Dario Totlino’s eyes.

“Recognition completed.”

The wizards displayed a three-dimensional screen that compared the recognized iris information with past iris information.

Everyone in the courtroom was focused on the stereoscopic screen.

Then the comparison results came out.

<Match>

The witness was clear evidence that Dario Totlino was the one.

William Siemens’ eyes widened when he saw the results.

‘What on earth is going on?’

There was no way the Nostra family would lie to themselves.

He glared at Zeke who was sitting quietly in front of him.

It was clear that Zeke had done something during the transport.

When it was revealed that Dario Totlino was indeed the man Carly Draker opened up to him.

“Dario Totlino no. Dario Nostra. Before I confess my sins I would like to ask you one thing first.”

She asked him in a clear voice.

“Which bloodline of Draker is in league with the Nostra family?”
